Yesterday they had plenty of floor space for their daily shenanigans. But not today. Today we install walls and start building the beds.
Started off the day with sanding the wood putty that we added to our glued wood wall panels.
Then we painted them gray. Ava was all about helping with painting today.
I wonder what all the neighbors are thinking right now. Haha.
Wall panel up! I’m a little disappointed that my color doesn’t exactly match but I can do one more coat on the exposed parts once cabinets cover most of it up.
We had to cut a little hole for some wiring. Totally looks like a mouse hole.
Finalized some measurements today. The storage area will be 16″ tall and both of our sleeping areas will be 28″ tall.
We decided to ditch these tall water jugs for shorter ones and to store our BBQ in two pieces so that a shorter 16″ storage area would work for us.
We attached the wooden panels screws into the metal ribs of the van.
Took a long break from the van today to go visit the Croatian Consulate. Had to work out some specifics on traveling as a EU citizen versus a US citizen and traveling with a US plated car. We should be all good to go with Croatian passports for me and the kids. Dan will have to get a temporary EU resident card to travel under the same rules as the rest of us. And for the vehicle, it can stay up to 6 months in the EU at a time. Exiting the EU for s short period resets the 6 month clock. Not sure how times we are legally allowed to do that but we will figure that out later.
Ok got back just as the sun was setting. Gotta get some more done today.
We ended up cutting some 2×3 for the storage area.
That’s as much as we could do today. It’s fun to see the interior building coming to life 🙂
As always, thanks for following along,
